Answer:
It would be x=9
Step-by-step explanation:
8x=2x+54
subtract 2 from both sides
6x=54
divide by 6 on both sides
x=9
Answer:
x=9
y=72
Step-by-step explanation:
since they are equal to each other, write it out as 2x+54=8x. then subtract 2 from both sides.
the answer should be 6x=54, so you divide both by 6. the answer is 9.
so x = 9.
then you plug 9 back into the ORIGINAL problem. so 2(9) + 54.
2 x 9 = 18.
54 + 18 = 72.
so the final answer is (9, 72). x = 9, y = 72.
